CVE-2024-50041
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: Fix macvlan leak by synchronizing access to mac_filter_hash
This patch addresses a macvlan leak issue in the i40e driver caused by concurrent access to vsi->mac_filter_hash. The leak occurs when multiple threads attempt to modify the mac_filter_hash simultaneously, leading to inconsistent state and potential memory leaks.
To fix this, we now wrap the calls to i40e_del_mac_filter() and zeroing vf->default_lan_addr.addr with spin_lock/unlock_bh(&vsi->mac_filter_hash_lock), ensuring atomic operations and preventing concurrent access.

Additionally, we add lockdep_assert_held(&vsi->mac_filter_hash_lock) in i40e_add_mac_filter() to help catch similar issues in the future.
Reproduction steps: 1. Spawn VFs and configure port vlan on them. 2. Trigger concurrent macvlan operations (e.g., adding and deleting portvlan and/or mac filters). 3. Observe the potential memory leak and inconsistent state in the mac_filter_hash.
This synchronization ensures the integrity of the mac_filter_hash and prevents the described leak.

La pérdida se produce cuando varios subprocesos intentan modificar mac_filter_hash simultáneamente, lo que genera un estado inconsistente y posibles pérdidas de memoria.

Además, agregamos lockdep_assert_held(&vsi->mac_filter_hash_lock) en i40e_add_mac_filter() para ayudar a detectar problemas similares en el futuro. Pasos de reproducción: 1. Genere VFs y configure el puerto VLAN en ellos. 2. Active operaciones MACVLAN simultáneas (por ejemplo, agregar y eliminar filtros MAC o PortVLAN). 3. Observe la posible pérdida de memoria y el estado inconsistente en el hash de filtro MAC. Esta sincronización garantiza la integridad del hash de filtro MAC y evita la pérdida descrita."
